I discovered something great yesterday. In addition to the prepackaged food you purchase with Nutrisystem, you also supplement (after the first hellish week of Turbo TakeOff) with a small amount of groceries. For example, breakfast is a bar, muffin, etc from Nutrisystem, plus a serving of protein like a hard boiled egg.
You also get "Extras" to add some indulgences. These can include a teaspoon of mayonnaise, 7 olives, a tablespoon of avocado, etc and you can have up to 3 per day.
There are also "Free Foods" to add flavor but not calories and include things like salsa, no calorie salad dressing, and lemon juice. Hallelujah! I'm thrilled to discover that low-sodium vegetable, chicken, and beef broth are on this list. So I supplemented my morning muffin with a warm mug of broth. Comforting since I'm coming down with a cold, and satisfying as there's a good amount of protein in there.
I'm thankful that my day yesterday was lighter on the chocolate and supplementing my teeny tiny pizza with roasted mushrooms was definitely the right call. I'm checking off the items that I would and would not order for my next month, happy to be learning and feeling that progress is being made.
Breakfast - Cinnamon Streusel Muffin
Snack #1 - Chocolate Turbo Shake
